BLAcKsToNE's CRIME.
Additional Developments In the Case
Against Him.
The Bank Has Evidence of Forgery.

Judge Gould of the Municipal Court YES.
terday made some statements that give addi-
tional developments in the Blackstone case
Judge Gould said that soon after Blackstone
fed and his defalcation was known, that
Vice President Elias Thomas of the Canal
Bank came to him, accompanied by Detective
Wormell, and that Mr.. Thomas exhibited to
him perfect case of forgery and he issued
warrant with two counts. 1t will be remem-
bered that the directors stated that Black
stone destroyed the forged notes. 1t is stated,
but not by Judge Gould, that the forged
documents were not notes, and Blackstone
left them behind and the bank officers have
them in their possession. 1t was the warrant
issued by Judge Gould on which Blackstone
was arrested at Winnipeg, and the Judge
states that Blackstone's case is similar to
that of Hoxie Of Wisconsin, who obtained
money by raising cashiers checks and then
decamped for Canada. In Hoxie's case the
Dominion government readily granted extra
dition papers. and he was carried back TO
Wisconsin.
When Sheriff Wormell returned to quail
ify as sheriff, United States Commissioner
Rand wrote out complaint against
Blackstone, charging embezzlement, in
case Blackstone should he arrested in
the United States, as it was thought he
might go to st. Paul to meet his family. 1t
seems also that the reason why Blackstone's
wife led Mr.. Wormell such dance about
Boston and Chicago was because Mrs
Whorff. Blackstone's sister. was on the train
when the marty left portland for poe+o, -
go west, and she recognized Wormell and
suspected he was shadowing them Wormell
kept his eye on the children, however, know
ing their mother would not leave them, and
thus that plan fell through. The published
story. which was denied, that Blackstone
wrote the directors and gave them the exact
amount of his defalcation, within thirty
cents, was, it now appears. correct.

Our oldesf chid, now six years OF age, when an
infant six months old, was attacked with viru
lent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies failing we called our family physician
who attempted to cure it; but it spread with al
most Incredible rapidity until the lower portion
of the little fellows person. from the middle of his
back down TO his knees, was one solid rash, ugly
painful, blotched and malicious. We had no rest
at night, no peace by day. Finally we were ad-
vised to try the CUTIcURA REMEDIES. The eff
feet was simply marvellous. In three or four
weeks a complete cure was wrought, leaving the
little fellows person as white and healthy as
though he had never been attacked In my opin-
ion your valuable remedies saved his life and to-
day he is a strong, healthy child, perfectly well,
no repetition of the disease having ever occurred.

Rheumatism

According TO the best authorities, originates In
morbid condition of the blood. Tactic acid, caus-
ed by the decomposition of the gelatnous and al
luminous tissues, circulates with the blood and
attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly In the
Joints. and thus causes the local manifestations of
the disease. The back and shoulders are the
parts usually affected by rheumatism, and the
joints at the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are
also sometimes attacked. Thousands of people
permanent cure for rheumatism. This medicine
by its purifying and vitalzing action on the blood
correctS the cause of the disease and Ii also gives
strength to every function of the body. If you
suffer from rhuematism try Hoods Sarsaparilla.

NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville Union every
Thursday evening.
The produce trade has been rather
active in some respects for the last
two weeks.
Wheat and corn have not adj
vanced, but are moving more freely.
Dried fruit has advanced and is in
good demand, but there is none in
the country. Green apples have been
rather dull, since the holidays, the
demand and prices up to that time
were good.
Poultry unchanged; better demand
for turkeys, but chickens are rather
dull. Eggs, in consequence Of the
long continued cold weather, have
held up remarkably well, and are in
good demand, but as soon as the pro-
duction begins to increase we may
expect decline in prices.
The mule trade has been lively
during the last ten days. The indi-
cations are more favorably and we
may reasonably expect an increase
in the money circulation in this as
we'll as other places. Every surplus
product we may have that can be
sold for money, should be cashed at
its highest market value.
